Your car doesn't have enough V8s in it.

Two minimum. That's the rule from now on.

I wanted to show you up by finding something even crazier - a car with dual V12 engines - but apparently that doesn't exist. Strange.

I guess dual V8s will have to do for now.

Dual V10's? Dual W12's?

Alot of work went into those headers. Awesome.

They exist in tractor pulls.

Anyone know how they mate the two engines?

One of my favorite cars. Most appropriately named car ever too!

But not a lot of thought. Why would you route your exhaust directly in front of your radiator??

Hmm...good point, but I'm not sure it will make a huge difference in cooling.

Notice four slicks?

He also had a twin engine dragster he tried running with two buicks one supercharged one not. I guess it was hard to drive.

It seems to me like it'd' have to make a huge difference. I mean, the coolant running through it will ideally be, what around 220F or so? So even if the air outside was only rising from 70F to 120F degrees, that's a massive difference in the cooling capacity.

But it also has more access to air than it would in an enclosure. And most radiators offer a pretty substantial range, anyway. It would just be like driving in the summer all the time.

I also wonder if there's another one on the other side.

Fair point. I'm pretty sure the other side is symmetric. I'm sure they get enough cooling, otherwise they wouldn't be driving it around. But still. It bugs me. haha

Looks like they just stuck a giubo in there. I didn't think it was possible to mechanical-centipede engines together like that. Edit: Didn't know how to spell or pronounce joo-bow until a moment ago.
